The Huawei P40 Pro is a photography POWERHOUSE - Hands on!

it's Thursday the 26th of March and the

Huawei p40 series is here visionary

photography is the tagline this time

around and to say that Huawei is leaning

into this would be quite an

understatement we're treated to three

devices this time around the p40 the p40

Pro and the p40 Pro Plus before we go

hands-on with the p40 pro I want to dive

straight into the specs because there is

quite a lot that differentiates the

three devices all the phones feature

Kirin 995 G chipsets emui 10.1 software

and the brand new 50 megapixel ry wide

be ultra vision cameras however there

are a few differences that set each

device apart from one another namely the

pro and the Pro Plus feature a bigger 90

Hertz displays over the smaller 60 Hertz

panel in the standard the same also goes

for faster charging bigger batteries and

ip68 ratings in the p40 prime Pro Plus

instead of IP 53 in the regular p40

there are also very different camera

systems in each phone from the standard

to the pro to the Pro Plus we've got up

to an 80 millimeter 125 millimeter and

240 millimeter telephoto camera

respectively and the Pro Plus gets 12

gigabytes of RAM instead of the 8

gigabytes found in the other two models

while weighs focus for the p40 series is

visionary photography and with the spec

sheet like this that's no surprise the

p40 pro comes with a 50 megapixel main

camera a 40 megapixel ultra wide camera

a 12 megapixel five times optical

periscope zoom camera and a timer flood

sensor for better depth mapping the firm

is certainly no stranger to breaking the

mold and they are going bigger and

better this time around

quite literally the 50 megapixel ryy be

ultra vision main camera that features

on all three p40 models has the world's

largest smartphone camera sensor

specifically a one over one point two

eight inch absolute unit for context is

Samsung's one over 1.3 3 inch which is

found in the s20 ultra and opposed one

over 1.4 3-inch which is found in the

find x2o and for good measure here's why

ways one over one

seven inch outgoing standard wide-angle

camera found in the likes of the mate 30

pro what does this all mean well in a

nutshell that you're going to get much

better performance from this camera

since the individual photo sites which

pick up the light are bigger allowing

for more light information which is not

only going to give you better low-light

performance but it also gives more

information into the processing system

for stuff like hdr+

at portrait mode and night cycle the

center is still using Huawei's ry YB

Bayer filter which essentially means

that the yellow pixels can pick up more

light information which enables a better

image

however it also pixel bins just like

last time only this time instead of

going down to 10 megapixel output files

from a 40 megapixel main sensor it's

going from 50 to 12.5 it's still binning

four to one it's just a slightly larger

output image the 40 megapixel ultra wide

dubbed the cine camera by Huawei is very

similar to what we saw in the mate 30

Pro which is to say a very large sensor

that bends down to 10 megapixels with a

wide field of view and it's all housed

in this elongated stovetop design that's

an extension of the narrower camera bump

that we saw last year around the front

in the punch hole there is a 32

megapixel selfie camera that supports

autofocus in both the pro and the Pro

Plus as well as Ultra HD video recording

the p40 pro model that I have here

supports a much nicer and more premium

design than we've seen from Huawei

phones in the past there are slight

curves on all four edges of the screen

making it feel like water on the brink

of breaking surface tension this and the

standard versions have glass on the back

whereas the Pro Plus features ceramic

are more expensive in a luxurious

material and all of them have moved away

from a water droplet not to a punch

whole style selfie camera just for a

little bit of added class in the hand

the phone feels really good if it was

really solid very well made and it's

definitely very elegant it's just a

shame about those mismatching corner

pieces to the bezel where the radius of

the screen curve doesn't actually match

the radius of the curve in the chassis

so you kind of get little pointy extra

bits and I'll try and do my best to make

this look decent on video but it's kind

of hard to notice unless you've got the

thing in your hand

the keen-eyed among you may have noticed

that the pro in the Pro Plus bought 90

Hertz displays which is a first on a

flagship level Huawei phone this makes

the phone feel more up-to-date than

previous efforts although it's gonna

have to be really good to compete with

Samsung's and oppose 120 Hertz screens

there's also a point to be made about

resolution these things are running

white Full HD displays as opposed to

white quad HD displays that means that

on paper these phones displays are at a

significant disadvantage compared to the

other flagships on the market right now

my first impressions are that the screen

well it's vibrant it's bright it's got

good color accuracy and it does seem to

have spectacular viewing angles but will

run a full suite of tests and get back

to you with the full verdict in the full

review coming up later while Wade's

caring 990 chips that makes an

appearance here in its 5g flavor this is

the same chip that can be found in the

mate 30 pro 5 G this also follows the

trend where Huawei tends to put its

brand new chipset in the mate series

which is then used in the next year's P

series so the 990 from the p4 G probe

was first introduced in the mid 30 Pro

it's been shown to be around the

snapdragon 855 plus in terms of

performance which again puts it at yet

another disadvantage compared to the

snapdragon 865 equipped LG v 60 think

you and Galaxy S 20 series the p40 Pro

and P 40 Pro Plus both support 40 watt

fast charging but what's more impressive

is that they also support that speed in

Wireless form as well yes these things

have 40 watt fast wireless charging

which is pretty cool software is the

biggest concern regarding the P 40

series due to the fact that mui 10.1

doesn't support GMS meaning that you

won't get the Google Play Store or any

kind of Google services for that matter

that means you're going to be relying on

the Huawei services which includes a

gallery of course now whilst the company

is actively adding apps and games onto

app gallery every single day there are

still heaps of key players missing such

as Instagram Twitter Disney Plus Netflix

Amazon Prime eBay stuff like that that

really do need to be on here Spotify and

last pass of the to die immediately

install as soon as I get a phone

and I was not able to install them via

app gallery on this in fact I was using

apk mirror to get some of my

applications installed and even then you

can't get every single one installed

such as LastPass which is a heavily

security based application you just

can't get it without the Play Store so

the rest of my first thoughts of this

thing one the fingerprint scanner which

what we claims is 30% bigger and 30%

faster is definitely a massive

improvement over what we saw with the

p30 Pro this thing just registers my

fingerprint way more often and quicker

at the same time I'm really not sold on

the corners of this smartphone the

curved edge is kind of cool but the fact

that the edges of the screen don't go to

the edges of the device is really

putting me off and it's something that I

just can't get over the camera though

feels very familiar feels just like the

p30 Pro which is to say a very good

camera and the thing about loading the

apps onto the smartphone is something

that's going to bug me throughout the

entire review process as I'm recording

this video pricing and availability just

isn't available to us right now so I'll

leave a link in the description to

Android thority comm to go to the

website to check out the latest

information as it gets released with all

that said and done thanks for watching

this video please do subscribe to stay

tuned and check out the new reviews when

they become available for the p40 pro

and the p40 Pro Plus also wash it down

there click like and comment letting us

know what you think of the p40 series

I've been run Thomson & Rowe Authority
